Gothams Win at Indianapolis, 16-12
New York and Indianapolis engaged in a slugfest.

The Indianapolis ABCs got a sterling performance from third baseman Buddy Bell, but the New York Gothams still prevailed, 16-12. Bell went 4-5 with 4 singles. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. Indianapolis is now 1-6.

New York used the hitting of Will Clark to pick up the win. The first baseman clubbed a 2-run single in the top of the fifth inning to put the Gothams on top, 9-6. For the game, Clark had 1 home run and 2 singles in 7 at-bats.

"I'm just trying to make good contact," said Clark, "one at-bat at a time."
